The girls have been incredibly happy and easy going recently. I'm not sure what happened except that maybe they finally feel healthy after being sick for a few weeks. They woke up this morning at 7:30 giggling and playing Peek-A-Boo with each other in their cribs. Finally after all those months of waking up too early cranky and crying we have happy morning babies! Waking up to see two happy, laughing babies jumping up and down in the crib is the best. (Well, maybe the best would be to wake up at 9 AM to see two happy, laughing babies instead of 7:30, but I can't be too picky).
So, they started out the day happy and it just continued. It was pretty much a happy toddler fest at our house all day - lots of laughing, running around, and generally goofiness. Kate spent a good part of the afternoon jumping up and purposefully landing on her bottom which sent her (and Maya) into hysterics each time. She also has been practicing her "downward facing dog" which are transitioning into somersaults.
Can you handle some more gushing? Are you sure? OK, here goes..
In our continuing quest to civilize our wildmonkeys children and to eventually turn them into somewhat polite and functioning members of human society, we've been working on table manners. We've been mostly working on the basics first - like "this is a fork, you use it to move food from your bowl to your mouth." They are actually making great strides with their silverware - though, eating with their hands still predominates. The big breakthrough today, though, was when I asked Maya if she wanted more food, she shook her head to say "yes" and then said "pweez".
Is that not the cutest thing ever? And to top it all, she was saying "yes, pweez" to another helping of broccoli.
Well, that's enough gushing for one day.
